An outline of the program is available as a brochure on the Stadia web site.
Course Design
The content of the course is multidimensional, described on the 2006 Dimensions and Threads page.
Sessions
The fall term of the program includes an accelerated schedule of lectures. These are described on the 2007 Sessions Timetable page.
- During the term when theses are developed, students have been clustered into smaller groups to enable more personalized attention.
For reference, the historical 2006 Sessions Timetable page has been retained on the web site.
Credits
The tight scheduling of lectures is achieved through the blending of dimensions and threads. In order to satisfy academic requirements, students should pay attention to the layout of credits, with an intricate parsing of interwoven themes.
Evolving Curriculum
Initial development of this curriculum began with an "ideal" model that did not take holiday schedules and the availability of speakers into account. This content remains available at daviding.com/drafts/doku.php/sbm, but don't be confused by that! The content here on rendez.org web site is the "living" content that will evolve, and the prior content has been preserved only as a reference.
